Christopher Morel is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 26% of the time against the kind of pitches Hunter Brown throws, compared with 37% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the sinker: Hunter Brown throws it 30% of the time, and Christopher Morel strikes out 17% of the time against it across 12 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 63% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
